Thanks for another interesting video. I have a simple question that shows how little I know about machining. When using the lathe how do you control the depth of cut? Is it by rotating a control wheel and observing the digital display? I couldn't see in the video how you did it.

@@roygardiner2229 thanks Roy, yes but I triple measure, I use the read out, the indexed wheel on the lathe and also measure

Funny thats what i want to discuss with you is compression ratio 🙂

Good Morning boss i don't believe if i asked you if started the business from scratch ? My motor i did a refresh any some upgrades on has a problem the rings will not seal , the bottom end just pressurises , oil comes out the seals and gaskets 2.5 litres of oil dumped in 40 kilometres. CP Pistons, Totalseal gaples rings honed on a Rottler hone , carby motor any thoughts for a amateur engine builder from down under . Driven brake in oil

[@stujones9976]

Gapless top or Gapless 2n/d did you use

[@christophercullen1236]

@stujones9976 thanks for your reply, I ask my engine builder to use Total seal gapless rings I would have to check the part number to answer that question. Have not tore engine down yet .

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Morning.. I started it from scratch, a small shed at home with 1 bench.. something seems very wrong there.. is one of the breathers blocked or are the rings fitted upside down

[@christophercullen1236]

@@graceenginedevelopments yet to strip that what I am looking for things to check. Thanks

[@graceenginedevelopments]

@@christophercullen1236 rings fitted incorrectly, piston to bore clearance, incorrect dipstick so to much oil, blocked breather

Didn't go in the end, it was finished before I was
